Life of Monsieur de Moliere

by Mikhail Bulgakov

Overview

'Life of Monsieur de Moliere'' - is one of the most peculiar works by the outstanding writer Mikhail Bulgakov. The Moliere's biography in a novel, based by Bulgakov on the familiar to him documentary witness, became, owing to the personality of the protagonist and his expectations, the work of the deep personal quality - the writer narrated not only about Moliere, but also about himself. This was the reason which delayed for a decade the presentation of the book to the readers.

Mirra Ginsburg (1909–2000) was born in Bobruysk, Byelorussia, and spent her childhood surrounded by nature. This setting was a relief from her family’s extreme poverty and though her parents were poor they raised her with an appreciation of culture and politics. A prolific writer and translator, Ginsburg settled in the United States. She is best know for introducing the West to Siberian and Central Asian folklore, and for her childrens’ books. She has also translated a number of important works of Russian literature, including novels by Mikhail Bulgakov and Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
